M45 Wheels, 350z Springs, Camber Kit?

Hi, I'm a newbie here but I've had my G for some time now. I'm going to be making a few mods and I want to know if I will need to buy a camber kit after my mods. I only want to make one trip to the alignment shop and would like to get pretty good tire life. Will I need it for the front/rear/both?

Here's what I've got:

2003 Sedan (6 spd) with sport suspension.

Here's what I'm doing:

M45 19" Wheels
245/40/19 Vredestein tires
15-20mm spacer (suggestions? first hand experience preferred)
03' 350z springs (using existing factory sport struts/shocks)

Much appreciated for any advice.

you'll be fine. you will have a little bit more neg camber from the z springs. but nothing drastic that will affect tread wear that much more

DAMN!! I have the same exact setup!! 245-40-19 pirellis on my M45 wheels. But I'm on a 350z H-tech setup right now with 20's on for a bit. I have a set of H&R springs I just got. I'm thinking of making the switch pretty soon. I have 2 pairs of ichiba 15mm spacers.

I'm dropped on...

M45 19" Wheels
245/40/19 tires
5mm spacer up front, no spacer in the rear
03' 350z springs (using existing factory sport struts/shocks)

The springs were a 1 inch drop all the way around. I don't/didn't need a camber kit...

I looked into Eibachs/H&R/etc but didn't see what I liked. The higher spring rates really needed new struts and the additional lowering had alignment issues. Maybe thats just for some.

Besides, $70 for a set of 350z springs is a pretty good deal I thought.

Best bang for the buck.... full 350z sport suspension. You get the drop you want plus sport struts. It's the poor mans coilover!

If I already have the sport option, what difference would getting the struts from a 350z sport? I would think both have the same shock valving since both have the same spring rates (from what I've read).

correct. I was just stating that I got the z sports supension since my sedan is a non sport. If you got a g35 sports supension.. just get some z springs and you'll be set
